Team SPEARHEAD’s Red Light & Blue is coming to Charlotte, NC for a weekend of Good Livin’ that you won’t forget!
EVENT WEBSITE / DETAILS
Red Light & Blue classes 001 and 002 have been highly successful. Each event has raised over $5,000 to benefit veterans in our own communities, educated hundreds of civilians about the realities of what our military and veterans face, and contributed to bridging the gap between the civilian and military communities. After the successes of these events, it’s time to take it up a notch. Red Light & Blue 003 will benefit the Charlotte Bridge Home, our favorite local organization that works with veterans in the Charlotte area.
What is the Charlotte Bridge Home? The CBH is an organization that aims to do primarily one thing, and that is to connect veterans. Connect them to to employers, to government resources, to each other, and to the community. The CBH provides a starting point for veterans that are new to Charlotte, and helps them transition into civilian life in a city that has a low military population. For more information, please visit www.charlottebridgehome.org
The goal of Red Light & Blue is to connect the civilian and military communities, and what better way to connect veterans to the community than to bring a ton of Americans together for a 6 hour dose of good livin’ brought on by GORUCK’s top cadre? And how better to finish off the good livin’ than with ACRT and a cook out.
As a bonus, the weekend’s events will include a GORUCK War Stories And Free Beer and a GORUCK Firearms Day. Space is limited for these events, so purchase your tickets now!

The Rockin’ Marathon Relay offers the opportunity to gather a team to conquer a full marathon, all the while enjoying music and a fun party atmosphere at the relay exchange zone! Without a doubt, this will the most fun you’ll ever have running a marathon!
Here’s how Rockin’ Marathon Relay works: teams of 2, 3, or 4 members alternate relay legs until the full marathon distance is completed on a loop course. One team member is out running hard on the course while the rest of the team is having a good time at the relay exchange zone. The exchange zone is one big party – enjoy music, food, and socialize with teammates and competitors alike – but be ready for when you next take the handoff for your team!
For those of you who are bold enough to try the full marathon on a loop course alone, you can run the Rockin’ Marathon Relay solo!

Info on “BIKE! Charlotte:”
A bicycle friendly community offers a higher quality life. Bicycling provides an alternative to congested streets, a cleaner environment and contributes to improved physical health and mental well being. As in other cities, more people in Charlotte are discovering these and many other benefits of bicycling. The Charlotte Department of Transportation Bicycle Program is working to make bicycling in Charlotte safer and more efficient. The City has adopted long range bicycle plans identifying steps to help Charlotte become a city where cyclists can feel comfortable riding to work, running errands or simply enjoying a neighborhood ride with the family.
Charlotte is building the infrastructure to make cycling better. In the coming years, the City will increase its inventory of bike lanes, signed routes, paved shoulders and bicycle racks. In recognition of its efforts to improve its bicycle environment, the City of Charlotte was recognized by the League of American Bicyclists as a 2008-2012 Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) at the bronze level.

The event will feature Elite and Recreational races, which are open to the general public. Limited paddleboard rentals will be available on a first-reserve basis.

“After four years of promoting paddleboarding and introducing so many of our residents to the sport, it is so exciting to host a WPA race here in Lake Norman,” said Rob Bennett, event director and owner of My Aloha Paddle and Surf.
Stand Up for Autism will support IGNITE, a community center in Davidson for young adults with high-functioning autism (HFA) or Asperger’s Syndrome (AS). IGNITE offers activities, skills training, and educational workshops that foster social, financial, educational, and employment independence for its members. But most importantly, IGNITE offers a social environment in which members can connect with others and experience a sense of community. IGNITE is operated by the Autism Society of North Carolina. IGNITE was founded in 2012 by NASCAR champion crew chief Ray Evernham whose son, Ray J, has Asperger’s Syndrome.
“We are very excited to partner with Rob and his team at My Aloha Paddle and Surf to put on this great event,” said Evernham, who is a Lake Norman resident and paddleboard enthusiast. “The IGNITE Community Center is a very important project of mine and events like this are what enable us to continue having such a profound effect on so many young adults on the Autism spectrum in Davidson, NC.”
The event will begin Friday evening with a kick-off party from 6-9 p.m. at Port City Club, which will include food, beverages, silent auction and music. The pre-race meeting will start at 8 a.m. with the WPA Region 6 sanctioned Elite and Recreational races to follow. The awards ceremony on the beach will begin at 11 a.m. and be followed by a luau featuring the Island Hula Girls along with island music, food and fun activities for all ages.
If interested in sponsoring or volunteering, please contact det@rayevernham.com. All event proceeds will benefit the IGNITE Community Center and Autism Society of North Carolina.

For this ACA monthly social, we’re introducing a new twist: Sponsoring our own running effort followed immediately afterwards with the creation of a Cheering Section to support the 24 Hours of Booty (Charlotte) kickoff! Now in its 14th year, 24 Hours of Booty is not only an important annual charity event, but also one of the highlights for thousands who live and visit the beautiful Myers Park neighborhood where it takes place.
“Bootyville” (aka Ground Zero for 24HOB) will be located at Queens University and Myers Park Traditional School. Cyclists, meanwhile, will navigate the “Booty Loop” on the outskirts. The route itself is just under 3-miles, but cyclists will do the course many, many, many times over the 24-hour period. This year, Charlotte welcomes over 1,200 riders who’ve collectively helped raise funds for local charities such as the Levine Cancer Institute, LIVESTRONG Foundation, Keep Pounding Foundation, Wind River Cancer Wellness Retreats and the Brain Tumor Fund of the Carolinas through their participation.
ACA Run & Social Details:
Here’s what you need to know about the planned social:
Meet at the ACA tent in Bootyville between 5:15-5:45pm.
Depart together for a run (or bike if you are racing and want a warm up lap) around the Booty Loop; we’ll leave sharply at 5:45PM.
Click here for map of the 24HOB course map (approximately 2.8 miles)
Runners should feel free to add a loop or cut the loop short for a longer/shorter workout.
Gather with us at the ACA tent (next to Bootyville HQ) before or after the run. We’ll walk from the tent to the start line near Wellesley Avenue & Queens Road West around 6:30 pm. National Anthem plays at 6:50pm.. At 7pm, the event kicks off with a “Survivor Parade Lap.”
Stay and listen to local bands and enjoy the bike expo!
Kids are welcome! There is a “kid zone” with inflatables, etc.
Enjoy water and food from the Community Culinary School of Charlotte. Feel free to bring your own adult beverages and ice them down in coolers we’ll have available. Special thanks to Ortho Carolina and Charlotte B-Cycles for the generous sponsorship of this month’s ACA Social!
